1
I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
2
And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah)
3
And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
4
Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
5
I doubt it
6
I look over my shoulder not knowing where it's coming from
7
But knowing that its coming, I was bugging as a youngin'
8
Now I'm runnin' from, a somethin' that'll even out my dumb decisions
9
The night I shot and had him bleedin' out his lungs and spittin'
10
Do any sins go unforgiven? I hope not
11
'Cause most of mine were hunger driven, nothing in my mother's kitchen,
12
Stomach sounds like the clouds ignited and that thunder hitting
13
So the well-screwed kid ended up with more than a couple missin'
14
So not a chef but the cocaine forever cookin'
15
I love kids but now I' selling to a pregnant woman
16
Stumbling through the projects in the AM with a cup in my hand,
17
Gun on my waist and, "I don't give a fuck" is my plan.
18
You'll never understand my palm sweat
19
Followed by shortness of breath then my heart jets and I ain't find a calm yet
20
Go on let shorty sing
21
'Cause ain't no way in hell this ain't Joell,
22
That's brave enough to tell you everything
23
I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
24
And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah)
25
And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
26
Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
27
I doubt it
28
Fuck all that rapping, I'mma let the conversation rock
29
I got skeletons in my closet
30
The living dead live in a nigga head, behind a combination lock
31
When will the occupation stop it? Make it a vacant lot
32
The black mamba when I crack vodka, I'mma take a shot
33
And Hope the stowaways go away before the anchor drop
34
Yeah thanks a lot, I'm a bottle drinkin' nutcase
35
Cover of XXL behind Em, I had the drunk face
36
I steadily dream about cleanin' these demons out
37
In order to clean them out, you gotta scream and shout
38
All of your secrets out loud
39
It started as a kid at my school desk
40
Aced every quiz but I wanted to pass the cool test
41
Ain't nothing cool about school shopping at the thrift store
42
And living in an abandoned station wagon cause you was piss poor
43
So I started stealing all of the clothes that the other kids wore
44
That's when the skeletons moved into my mind on the sixth floor
45
And more came through Crooked I's youth
46
I slowly started moving them out my closet into this mic booth
47
For real, bro
48
I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
49
And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah)
50
And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
51
Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
52
I doubt it
53
I thought I had it locked away till forever
54
But no memories fade away, they seem to stay
55
Comfortable in my conscience you live in my dreams
56
They say time heals it all then why's the pain still with me?
57
See the problem is, I know it all
58
Or maybe the problem is that I just show it all
59
Maybe they that thinking I should be ashamed of my actions but really there's no remorse
60
Maybe the lord will decide that I suffered enough and let me live with no withdrawals
61
Then again all it would mean is he deemed I'm much too important to focus all
62
We could talk about pain 24/7 dog, that's my department
63
Intercity blues cruise and I'm blasting that Marvin
64
Skeletons ain't in my closet, that's my apartment
65
And they like to hide behind thousand dollar fabrics and garments
66
It's all bleak to me
67
Tell my Pop I ain't bothered when he don't speak to me, I love you but it's weak to me
68
On one hand life is short and there's no excuse to do it
69
But you was missing half my life dog, I'm kind of used to it
70
Modern day Son of Sam, judge but you don't understand
71
Me against the world, I plan on winning, though I'm under-manned
72
Want to see through the eyes of a monster? Look through my glasses tint
73
My roommates can stay here, just take care of half the rent
74
I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
75
And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah)
76
And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
77
Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
78
I doubt it
79
I doubt it
80
I doubt it
